We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.
Did you not watch the 2000's X-Men movies that were thinly veiled gay rights discussions?
Or the original comics which were anti-religious persecution comics?
Or the entire history of X-Men being treated like minorities targeted by conservative society and pulpit bangers?
It's literally the core of the comic.
Since when is Mystique trans?
But more importantly, why should we care? People and society change, pop culture is nothing more than a reflection of that. As long the writing is good and the character is interesting, then maybe we should stop being so fucking concerned about the gender identity of completely fictional characters.
I don’t think about politics at all while watching movies. But I don’t make politics my identity either
Honestly, never really watched X-Men, or read comics, but I can imagine being frustrated if you were a fan of the characters. Just make new characters instead of hijacking old ones. But then again, we wouldn't have modern Harley Quinn without hijacking, and she's become a really good character in her own right.
If it were up to me, I'd have the original heros age, and that way they could become mentors and make room for a new batch of superheros. Superman has been around since 1938, surely he'd be in his 110s, if not older, assuming he was in his 20s back then.
